Fists of legend Director: Woo-Suk Kang Stars: Woong-in Jung, Hwang Jung-Min, Yo-won Lee, Jun-Sang Yoo and Je-mun Yun Fist of Legend brings the world of MMA to the big screen but will it be a knock-out movie or will you tap out. Hwang Jung Min plays Lim Deok Kyu, now a noodle shop owner who was once an olympic boxer and destined for greatness is struggling to make a living for himself and his daughter. Kyu Min (Lee Yo Won) the producer of "the greatest show on earth" called "legendary Punch" recruits has been fighters to fight on the show against professional MMA fighters for cash prizes and persuades Lim Deok Kyu to take part. Lim wins his first fight and becomes something of a peoples champion which gives the show massive ratings but as things start to turn around for Lim trouble is on the horizon as his former childhood friends Sang Hoon (Yoo Jun Sang) now a business man and gangster Jae Saek (Yoon Jae Moon) show up to fight and past and present collide.
